APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) — Question 62

Airfreight companies often use dimensional (dim) weight to cost out shipments because of which of the following attributes of the product?

Answer options

• A. Density
• B. Height
• C. Weight
• D. Value

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as dimensional weight pricing considers the weight of the shipment in relation to its dimensions, making actual weight a key factor. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because density, height, and value do not directly influence the cost calculation based on dimensional weight.
